2017: What did you do to/with your NC700 today?

[SleepyC]

Got out for the first time in a week. Added that "Ride On" slime into my tires and wow are my wheels smooth now. They were balenced but now they are insanely smooth. Got in just under 200 miles this morning, pretty much my limit as my dumb hip starts to really hurt after 100. Ahh the joys of being stupid as a kid and paying for them when you're older.

I decide to ride to the southern end of LBL (Land between the Lakes in Ky) on Sunday.

I rode thru a 10 mile shower on Sunday in the LBL, but it was so hot the cool rain felt good (no rain gear).

I tried to post pictures and just discovered the Photbucket's new policy of you cant host pictures without buying their $99 per year service. arghh. time for a new photo sharing place.

You can upload pics directly to this site, for free. Just hit go advanced.and add images.

That's what I do too, works great.

I have to save the pictures somewhere or they turn sideways.
Right now I just save to iCloud and it works.

 

[sumo]

I crop, rotate, resize and save to a web friendly resolution of 800X600 using the fantastic (and free) Paint.net

The net has moved on methinks. Even most entry level smartphones these days have 1920x1080 or better...

Some forumware approaches picture display nicely, with reduced-size inline page display images that open up to full screen when clicked. It can't fix bad smartphone EXIF orientation issues however, which is indeed one reason to do something similar to what sumo is suggesting...

I will have to get them from my phone to my work laptop somehow (I absolutely hate using tapatalk app). I don't have Internet at home so my only option is to upload pics from my phone to my work laptop, then upload here. Since I don't have cell service (from any carrier) at my home either, my cell phone is a cheap pay as you go phone, so features are not that great on it or disabled.

The easiest way to get the photos to your laptop is a cable, assuming your phone has some sort of power/data out port.
Or Bluetooth.
Or the old fallback, email or text it to yourself and open it on the laptop.

Also Android or Apple should have a "share" function where if your laptop has Bluetooth, you can share your photos wirelessly to the computer. Fast and high res!

Yesterday morning, snuck out at 6:30am to beat the Portland heat and put a 100 on the back in the backcountry. I am still experimenting with my new(ish) GoPro Session 5, this time mounting it on my helmet. After close review, I need to raise it a click or two, but I was happy with the results. The image stabilization is amazing and the included software allowed me to create this video in about 90 seconds – it randomly picks sections of the 17 minute video and creates this 3 minute one. I am too lazy to edit by hand – grin! I never save them - but they are fun to post here or Facebook once in a while.

I'm all for the short vids. That's not like the music I hear when I ride, however ; }

I have yet to use the gopro software, of course I've been motovloging with my audio from a different source, so I have to use a video editor. I have found that editing a video is easy, making it entertaining is hard lol.

I was looking at the session, but when I went to best buy the hero 5 black was the same price...so I jumped on it.

It's been raining here, so I didn't ride today, I did shoot a review on my GIVI trekker dolomiti cases.

I have more vids on my channel, some are even worth watching lol.

 

[SleepyC]

Got the Givi Dolomiti as well. Very nice panniers for the price. No complaints at all.

Pulled the trigger.

Got the day off for working a long shift on the 4th.
Woke up at 530am, drove for 6 hours, signed the papers, loaded her up, drove for another 6 hours, so excited that I still took her out for a ride. More importantly, I actually have her now!

Congrats! Pretty bike, low miles, time to ride her now. Enjoy!

NICE! I have the same bike (bit different now but it started that way!)
The funny thing is I usually hate red bikes or cars, but this red is really nice. It's a very rich red!
have fun, keep the rubber side facing down!

 

[Deleted member 5383]

Likewise, not a phan for, say, red cars. But red is pretty visible until the light fades. I see people buying bikes that blend in with the roadway and then adding stuff for visibility. With red you are ahead of the game. And this is a nice red.

These actually are not from today or yesterday -- they're from three days ago -- the day my NC got blown over by high winds or bumped into when I was away from it, resulting in a broken windscreen and instrument stay/bracket.
